I initially did not want to purchase the DVD of this film because it said it was full screen. I have the widescreen laserdisc and did not want to *downgrade* to a full screen dvd. I finally picked up the dvd for the commentary by Waters (which is well worth the $10) and was shocked and delighted to see the film presented in it's original theatrical aspect ratio of 1.66:1. VERY HAPPY I bought the dvd now :)

Great direction, cinematography, and sound design, but only a so-so script.

Stylistically this is one of the best films from the early-mid nineties. But style isn't substance. The script was less than perfect going into production, and several endings were filmed for lack of a clear resolution. But don't let that stop you from seeing this film. Stone and director Noyce polish a bad script into a fine music video. It's like watching VH1 merge with the Playboy channel. A fine soundtrack with an even better [unreleased] score from Howard Shore play well against the dramatic, color-rich backdrops and voyeuristic black and white camera shots. It's very easy on the eyes, and perfect for a $14 dvd (if they ever release it).
